***…Inspired through the passion and acceptance of the unabridged ‘Hip-Hop culture’ …

“Its words whisper wisdom to the soul, welcomes you and warms the heart, pokes and motivates your inner creative expression”…. (As) The song “Rapper’s Delight”, by The Sugarhill Gang, begins “I said a hip, hop the hippie the hippie to the hip hip hop, a you don’t stop”. In Hip Hop “I saw the rich depth it encompassed; one that embraces love, community, friendship, family, self-expression, freedom, and above all else complete acceptance. I instantly connected.”

Her immersion into the Hip Hop culture surreptitiously explored the creative freedom within; inspiration, passion, and harmony activated the stimulation for her pioneer drawing series: “Hip-Hop Saved my Life” (2015-2016)

It is these attributes and depth that influence and drive her creative expression embodied within her art practice. Her main medium to work with is charcoal. …”I feel its undeniable texture, malleability, depth and capability to blend and shape makes it not only striking in presentation but enjoyable to apply. I love the mess, the charcoal smudged through my fingers connects me with my work and draws from my soul”
